Abstract/Summary
This study identified and investigated the experiences of women in existing romantic relationships during the transition period from a geographically-close relationship (GCR) to a long-distance relationship (LDR). The researchers selected seven participants based on a specific criteria: (1) a female who is currently in a long-distance relationship of at least six months, (2) used to belong to the GCR category (both partners used to live in an area where they could meet frequently), and (3) is of age 18 or older. Data for the study was gathered by means of a semi-structured interview, and the researchers made use of the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method to generate themes, super-ordinate themes and categories from the data strands of the transcript. Findings revealed that transition served as both a difficult phase and a positive opportunity in romantic relationships, and that it is a situation that entails adjustment on the part of those involved.
